Do You Read Unbiased?
■? *
i One of the more level-headed of the columnists, whose
voice was stilled before its time, wrote this truth: "I am lest
concerned about the freedom of the press than I am aboul
the freedom of the reader. You won't keep a free press unless- the reader also is tolerant, open-minded, interested, in
both sides."
j. How do you read? How do you listen? Are you carried
'ilpway by positive statements without stopping to considei
they might have been made for a purpose?
Or—are you a free reader? Can yo.u study both sides
calmly and collectedly, weighing the source of each statement, judging by past performance and arriving at your own
decision after careful thought and due consideration of all
facts in the case ? If you can do this, you are a free reader.
1 If you can da this, you can effectively combat those who
try to stir up trouble by false authoritatively stated, by
vitriolic charges against those in authority, by untrue accusations against various minority groups and by a constant
harping criticism of anything and everything.
The wisest man I ever knew used to say, whenever anyone began to tell him anything—"State the facts. Don't
characterize." Apply that to propaganda or to articles, or
speeches. Shear them of characterizations and of all statements prefaced by the catch phrases "its said"; "everyone
knows"; "they say"; etcetera, and see what you have left.
You will be surprised how little it is in almost every case.
Analyze what you read and hear, and study it with an
open , poised mind, ready to admit a point but not ready to
compromise with a demagogic attempt to stir you to impatience or intolerance.
A free press calls for, and deserves, free readers—men
bid women who so value the Bill of Rights which insures
«^_ p^^-thia-boon^ JmowU^ _jxea±_this, right ~with_
.reverence, keeping themselves ready to learn "all the" truths
and'jtb form .their own opinions according to their individual
wills..The only way- we can keep a free press is to deserve it
by being free reader.
were in attendance examined
twenty children, nine of whom,
were requested to return for further examination of their hearts
at a designated time. These were
not necessarily rheumatic fever
cases, but their questionable heart
action ' warrants their return for
further examination.
Through the courtesy of the Pre-
School Mothers' Club letters and
pamphlets were sent home from
ichool with all children under ten
fears of age. Parents are request-
.d to study these carefully and if
.here is any doubt in their mind
whether or not their child may
lave been a victim of rheumatic
ever, they are urged to call and
nake an appointment for the next
dinic which will be held fram 8:30
i. m. until 9:30 a. m. in the Cam-
ntmity Building o n Saturday,
January 8, 1949.
Inasmuch as the doctors are do-
lating their time, it is felt that
10 more children should be taken
2ach clinic morning than the doc-
:ors can thoroughly examine with-
n the specified time. Therefore the
?re-SchooI Mothers Club are ask-
'ng the Mothers who are intending
-o bring their children to the clinic
■o call ahead of time and make an
ippointment.
All the doctors in North Canton
md Greentown are donating their
;ime on a rotating basis.
All moth/rs with children under
ten years of age are urged to use
the clinic. It is better to be safe
than sorry.

For God and Country
On November 14 Archbishop Richard J. Gushing of the
Catholic Archdiocese of Boston addressed the seventy-fifth
anniversary convention of the Union of American. Hebrew
Congregations. He hailed religion as the foundation of freedom an attacked communism, atheism, fascism and nazism
as the great threats to freedom in this generation.
And then, speaking officially for the Catholic Church,
the Archbishop declared, "I can and do pledge to you the
friendship of my people. There are many ignorant or malicious things sometimes said about our beliefs and their effect
on the attitude of Christians towards Jews. I ask you not to
believe those things; they are lies and they are uttered in
order, to divide us."
Following the Archbishop came Jacob Aronson, chairman
of the Union's board. He castigated Communism. He spoke
of the desperate need of the world for religion. "At this time
true religion may truthfully be described as the last great
hope of humanity,", he said. "Just now this Weary arid dis-
^feouraged world needs a revival of religious faith and practice." - •
_ The- convention session reached a high point when the
chairman, Joseph H. Cohen, saluted the presence of Archbishop Cushing an welcomed the prospect of the appearance
on the next day. of Robert P. Taft, president of the .Federal
Council of Churches of Christ in America, as the "dramatic
symbolization of the spirit of religious freedom and inter-
faith amity that is so significant a; part of the structure of
the American democracy."
Americans are awakening to the dire threat of Communism and Fascism which hangs over them. They are" unifying
their forces. .They are tearing down the barricades which
subversive elements erected to divide them. They are gathering their strength. They are marching to victory in the name
of God and Country.
Indirect Business Ownership
If you could look at the shoes worn by people who are
the true "owners" of -American business, chances are you'd
find your own shoes among them. That .holds true whether
you're a factory .worker, a school teacher; a farmer, a storekeeper, (a clerk, a cowboy, a housewife or a stenographer.
•fi?, If you bwn a' single" share of stock in any business enter-
uprise, you are one of the 14 million Americans who are
direct owners of American industry, and who receive part of
the profits of industry in the farm of dividends.
~ If you carry life insurance, you are' an'indirect owner of
business, because premiums you and 75 million other policyholders pay are reinvested by insurance companies in sound,
profitable businesses.-That's why your insurance policy can
give you income as well as safety. The same holds true, of
almost ail pension' plans.
Even if you" have no' stock." no insurance, no pension—but
are one of 60 million who have savings accounts, you have a
stake in-business.
That's because the bank can lend your money to well-
r managed firms at a, profit, and so canfpay. you interest.." t

case in years gone by.
High winds marked (November

reported 13 degrees below zero.
Here the temperature was about
normal. Snow squalls which marooned 20 hunters in Idaho, ended
the following day and airplanes
succeeded in rescuing the men.

had spread havoc over much of
the West reached Stark County on
the 19th Shortly after 10 in the
evening in the form of a thunder-
stonm, which sent the temperature
down 10 degrees in -an hour and
caused at least one fire in the^area.
It brought .61 of an inch of rain
and a wind which reached 48 miles
and hour. Weather experts explained the cold front from the
West slipped under the warm. air
from the gulf states, the two layers of air resulted in heavy rain

There was a trace of Snow on

were in attendance examined
twenty children, nine of whom,
were requested to return for further examination of their hearts
at a designated time. These were
not necessarily rheumatic fever
cases, but their questionable heart
action ' warrants their return for
further examination.
Through the courtesy of the Pre-
School Mothers' Club letters and
pamphlets were sent home from
ichool with all children under ten
fears of age. Parents are request-
.d to study these carefully and if
.here is any doubt in their mind
whether or not their child may

Inasmuch as the doctors are do-
lating their time, it is felt that
10 more children should be taken

For God and Country
On November 14 Archbishop Richard J. Gushing of the
Catholic Archdiocese of Boston addressed the seventy-fifth
anniversary convention of the Union of American. Hebrew
Congregations. He hailed religion as the foundation of freedom an attacked communism, atheism, fascism and nazism
as the great threats to freedom in this generation.
And then, speaking officially for the Catholic Church,
the Archbishop declared, "I can and do pledge to you the
friendship of my people. There are many ignorant or malicious things sometimes said about our beliefs and their effect
on the attitude of Christians towards Jews. I ask you not to
believe those things; they are lies and they are uttered in
order, to divide us."
Following the Archbishop came Jacob Aronson, chairman
of the Union's board. He castigated Communism. He spoke
of the desperate need of the world for religion. "At this time
true religion may truthfully be described as the last great
hope of humanity,", he said. "Just now this Weary arid dis-
^feouraged world needs a revival of religious faith and practice." - •
_ The- convention session reached a high point when the
chairman, Joseph H. Cohen, saluted the presence of Archbishop Cushing an welcomed the prospect of the appearance
on the next day. of Robert P. Taft, president of the .Federal
Council of Churches of Christ in America, as the "dramatic
symbolization of the spirit of religious freedom and inter-
faith amity that is so significant a; part of the structure of
the American democracy."
Americans are awakening to the dire threat of Communism and Fascism which hangs over them. They are" unifying
their forces. .They are tearing down the barricades which
subversive elements erected to divide them. They are gathering their strength. They are marching to victory in the name
of God and Country.
Indirect Business Ownership
If you could look at the shoes worn by people who are
the true "owners" of -American business, chances are you'd
find your own shoes among them. That .holds true whether
you're a factory .worker, a school teacher; a farmer, a storekeeper, (a clerk, a cowboy, a housewife or a stenographer.
•fi?, If you bwn a' single" share of stock in any business enter-
uprise, you are one of the 14 million Americans who are
direct owners of American industry, and who receive part of
the profits of industry in the farm of dividends.
~ If you carry life insurance, you are' an'indirect owner of
business, because premiums you and 75 million other policyholders pay are reinvested by insurance companies in sound,
profitable businesses.-That's why your insurance policy can
give you income as well as safety. The same holds true, of
almost ail pension' plans.
Even if you" have no' stock." no insurance, no pension—but
are one of 60 million who have savings accounts, you have a
stake in-business.
That's because the bank can lend your money to well-
r managed firms at a, profit, and so canfpay. you interest.." t

This second attraction on the Center's cultural program brings to
the Center avdience a girl who
was born in Tel Aviv and who
started her concert career as a
nine year old prodigy. She studied
at the National Conservatory in
Paris, where she received the first
prize for violinists.,
In 1932 Miss Silber won the honor prize in the first International
Competition for Violinists in Vienna and has toured Europe extensively. She played the Beethoven
Concerto with the radio symphony
orchestra in Paris and appeared as
a soloist with the Palestine Symphony Orchestra, inaugurated by
Arturo Toscanini.

wise selection and she plays with
perfect taste and an entire lack of
self consciousness. Among her
work is Ravel's "Tzigane", a work
which bristles with technical difficulties for the violin but which
are taken with ease and confidence

the warmest November since 1931 and it was more than six

Seemingly reluctant as have been the months preceed-

us°for the winter months to come as has usually been the
case in years gone by.
High winds marked (November
with gales at 55 miles per hour
were recorded by the United States
Weather Bureau at the Akron-
Canton Airport. Cold and warm
fronts battled in the skies over
this area with the cold front eventually winning out.

West with deeply drifted snow,
while high winds and rain were all
that reached Stark County by the
middle of the month. The coldest
spot registered on the 18th was at
West Yellowstone, Montana which
reported 13 degrees below zero.
Here the temperature was about
normal. Snow squalls which marooned 20 hunters in Idaho, ended
the following day and airplanes
succeeded in rescuing the men.
The edge of the storm which
had spread havoc over much of
the West reached Stark County on
the 19th Shortly after 10 in the
evening in the form of a thunder-
stonm, which sent the temperature
down 10 degrees in -an hour and
caused at least one fire in the^area.
It brought .61 of an inch of rain
and a wind which reached 48 miles
and hour. Weather experts explained the cold front from the
West slipped under the warm. air
from the gulf states, the two layers of air resulted in heavy rain
clouds.
There was a trace of Snow on
the 10th but snow was .really visa-

Thanksgiving was a most beautiful day witth the sky cloudless
and just enough, sun to make it
comfortable for a stroll to settle

the evening a slight drizzle which
turned to snow by 8 o'clock made
driving a bit hazardous for holiday
drivers returning- fi-oin distant
